In addition there 14 serving pieces including several large ladles. These

monogrammed although a number of them are not and were probably purchased at
a later date. There is some normal wear to some of the larger knife
handles. The entire set weights approximately 196 troy ounces (counting the
knives as 1/2 ounce each since only the handles are sterling). This set
came from an important collection of silver in an estate in Chatham,
Massachusetts.
